Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 852
852: Leaving 852: Leaving “What are you talking about?
Explain…” Toot!
Toot!
Samuel directly clicked to hung up the call.
He looked at his father calmly and said, “I and Riya will apply to leave the base for a while.” The negotiation with the Continent W was already done, so he didn’t really have anything else to do.
As for Continent Y… Forget it.
They couldn’t even control their own returnee and was still thinking about taking advantage of other continent’s returnees.
How shameless.
Even though Continent X also couldn’t control their returnee and had to abandon one island, they were not shameless enough to run over and demanded Continent Z to help them. Perhaps it was because they still have a new returnee who appeared.
Samuel was not entirely sure about their current condition, though.
After all, not all information will be exchanged with each other and they didn’t have the time and means to observe in details.
“Now?” Mr.
Jones was stunned.
“Yes.
If I stay here any longer, I think you’ll just drag me to work.” Samuel’s face was dark when he thought about this. He and Riya didn’t spend that much time in City A Base, but he felt that every single time would be filled with someone looking for them for some reasons.
Either it would be the soldiers, his friend, or even his father.
Just like today.
Samuel felt that he seemed to be working for the continent and there was no break at all.
He had already reached rank 7. Can’t they be given more time to rest?
“That’s a good idea,” Riya murmured.
Clearly, Riya also saw that when they were in City A Base, they would be dragged to do various things one after another.
She didn’t have the interest to play with these officials or even the military.
Before returning from that world, she was just an ordinary person.
Someone who couldn’t be more ordinary than others and didn’t really have anything particularly remarkable.
She was only living her life ordinarily, struggle to live and enjoy her ordinary life.
But then she was transported to a completely different world.
In that world, she had to struggle and fight for a few years, pushing herself to the limit in order to make sure that she would not die.
So what if she has some talent?
Any talent who hadn’t grown up yet is useless. She had to work hard in order to get stronger and finally becoming one of the ‘geniuses’ who stayed away from the limelight.
Thankfully, there was no need for her to meet with those annoying people and she could stay hidden for as long as she wanted to.
Now after coming to this world, Riya also still didn’t have any intention of cooperating with the continent unless necessary. When it was time for her to deal with the magic beasts, Riya was still willing to raise her hand and helped to fight.
But she would not do it all the time.
People also had to learn to protect themselves.
The message stated that they were all selected amongst billions of people.
They were selected to retain human’s hope.
Not to be savior.
Or anything like that.
Perhaps whoever sent them to that world had long known that none of them were people who were willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others.
They were selfish and cruel enough, which was why they could survive for so many years in that dangerous and cruel world. If he, she, or it had chosen a righteous soldier instead, the journey might be even more bumpier than them because of the righteous heart.
None of the returnees came from the soldiers’ background.
It was odd indeed, but it was the reality.
They were either from a big business family or came from a relatively ordinary or even an orphan who didn’t have any parents.
They have different way of thinking from the soldiers. When the continent truly needed them, they would still stand forward and help.
The main reason is because they didn’t want these magic beasts to destroy their home planet and turning the entire world into a desolate world.
But if they were asked to be at the frontier at all times… They couldn’t do it.
Many magicians and warriors were selfish people who pursued their own strength’s improvement from the beginning until the very end. It was naturally no different from Riya and Samuel who were also selfish people.
They didn’t have the time and energy to care for the entire world. “That… I didn’t mean it.” Mr.
Jones coughed.
“It’s just that there are some things that need your help to solve.” “Father, just ignore the request of others if it will make City A Base in difficult situation.” “I know.” “And these two continents…” “There are millions of people’ lives on the stake at the very least,” Mr.
Jones said slowly and looked at his son.
“Even if not all of them can be saved, I want to know if there’s a way to help them that didn’t cost much.” It was also because of this that he chose to call Samuel and Riya over to talk with Continent W’s representative.
As for the representative from Continent Y… It was just a bonus.
Mr.
Jones never expected for the representative from Continent Y to be able to convince Samuel with his righteous and annoying attitude. “You win, old man.” Samuel sighed helplessly.
He felt that it was useless to argue with his father about this matter.
Even when facing with those people who made trouble back then, Samuel was also the one who played the bad role.
Samuel could see that his father really couldn’t bear to see so many people died.
City A Base was indeed a bit too safe.
There were no magic beasts that attack, so the people here could think about other things.
At this moment, Samuel felt he and Riya should leave or these people will never be able to grow.
